If you have studied the success of Youtube, Metacafe, and others enviously there is no reasons why you can't create your own video sharing website. You should eventually be able to make some money in return from advertising depending on how well your promote your site. Here are key steps to take to get your video site off the ground

1. Rather than aiming at a mass market, choose a niche for your video site. I niche could include, cooking video's, car maintenance, howto's are perhaps "bloopers" and comic video's.

2. You'll need a good snappy domain name. Head over to one of the big registrars and see whats available. There are different approaches to choosing a domain. One way would be to include the keywords from your niche, such as "cooking videos." Another is to pick a snappy, zany name that help the site go viral.

3. Choose a web host. You should consider a dedicated server as the load with video sharing websites is greater. However shared hosting or even a VPS or virtual private server should be ok to test your site, until you are getting decent traffic.

4. Standard shared hosting might not meet the software requirements of running video hosting. Almost certainly you will need to ensure your shared web host has installed ffmpeg. FFmpeg is a software that converts video to .flv format or any video format.

5. Users will probably upload their video's in .avi or mp3 format, and your server will convert them on the fly using ffmpeg. Other software that might be required to encode and play your video's will be ffmpeg-php, libogg
